A sticky situation
Ooey-Gooey by Flyaway1
Use These Words writing prompt entry

One hot summer day, as I strolled along.
I stepped on something that felt like melting gum.

Looking down at the pavement, I saw that I was wrong.
Instead, I saw some ooey- gooey, green scum.

My body was shivering, what a rotten smell, surprisingly strong .
My foot would not move, I started to feel quite glum.

It clung like sucking mud, my patience was long gone.
What was this sticky stuff- some type of devil's spawn?

Then I had a clever thought that was perfectly, spot on.
I would leave the shoe, despite knowing my mom would smack my bum.
